Atari Creep Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 I suppose it was just a matter of time. As much as I would love Ataribox/VCS to make it, this fate is what I fear for the system should it come out. https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/22/18635800/razer-ouya-kickstarter-gaming-service-shutting-down-june-25 Justin 1 Quote Don't just watch TV, PLAY IT!

Atari 5200 Guy Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 I missed Ouya completely. I never knew about it until about six months ago. As for the Ataribox I fear it may not even see the light of day. I don't wish any ill will of the system but it has taken almost a year alone just to get controllers finalized, and one of them is almost an exact copy of a current-gen controller already on the market. They changed some things on it but the skeleton of the controller was not changed. INTV Amico I hope doesn't catch the same bug. That is the one I'm watching closely. For both companies to try to revamp systems and brands that our generation of gamers recognize and have fond memories of the Amico so far seems to be doing things right ... but it's taking a long time. At least it seems more interesting personally. There's also another product coming out soon that has my interest.

TrekMD Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Not entirely unexpected. It was a neat idea but it just didn't work out. I suppose they will now be dust collecting collectibles.

TrekMD Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 John Hancock has released a nice video on how to keep the console working as an emulation machine and lists some free games that will continue to work on the system even after the shutdown.
